    Default Cisco to launch iPad-like tablet for office use


    Cisco to launch iPad-like tablet for office use

    By PETER SVENSSON
    Thanks to Apple Inc.'s iPad, tablet computers are finally a hot consumer item, after many false starts. On Tuesday, Cisco Systems Inc. said it aims to take the tablet computer into the business world with its own device, to launch early next year.

    Apple launched the iPad tablet computer in March, but Cisco, the world's largest maker of networking equipment, said its own tablet, the Cius, has been in the works for a year and a half.

    The Cius will have a 7-inch screen, making it smaller and lighter than the iPad. While the iPad has no camera, the Cius will have two, facing both toward and away from the user. Videoconferencing on the go will be a major focus of the product, according to Barry O'Sullivan, senior vice president of Cisco's Voice Technology Group.

    The Cius will run Google Inc.'s Android software, which is popular in smart phones that compete with Apple's iPhone. Android phones haven't been embraced by corporations, which usually prefer the security offered by Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerrys, but O'Sullivan said Cisco's goal was to make the Cius as "IT friendly" as possible, giving information technology departments wide control over what applications get installed on the devices.

    The tablet will come with the ability to connect to Wi-Fi hot spots and cellular broadband networks. Cisco is in talks with six phone companies around the world who could provide service for it, O'Sullivan said in an interview.

    The Cius will be able to use external monitors and wireless mice and keyboards, so it could even be used as a replacement for a desk computer by connecting to servers that run "virtualized" applications, Cisco said.

    O'Sullivan said Cisco's goal was to sell the Cius for less than $1,000.

    Default Who Are The Best VoIP Provders

    I recently updated the phone platforms for my work-from-home business. I have been utilizing regular telephone lines and forking out a big bill month after month. I had not been earning enough money every month to keep my phone on some months, and so i needed a fresh solution. I began trying to find a different sloution on line. I heard considerably regarding Voip and beginning looking into it. I found a site called The Top 10 Best VoIP which ranked the best 10 VoIP providers. The site was easy to read and understand. It was really helpful for me. I ended up reducing my phone bill from $75 a month with Cox, about 10 bucks with PhonePower.com! I just wanted to share my story with you because if anyone on here is looking to reduce costs for their business or even just home phone, I recommend checking out the The Top 10 Best VoIP Provider Reviews and Best VoIP Ratings | TheTop10BestVoIP.com and checking out there list of the Best VoIP Providers .
